    An arbitrary angle and its exact trisection angle fits exactly in the >following symbolic triangle with the following sides:
    a^3 , a*(b^2-a^2) , b*(b^2-2*a^2)
    Where : 2 >= b/a >= sqrt(2)
    (a,b):are positive real numbers
    I think you mean: if theta is an angle between 0 and pi/4,
    a triangle with angles theta, 3 theta and pi - 4 theta
    has sides with the ratios a^3 :: a*(b^2-a^2) :: b*(b^2-2*a^2)
    where cos(theta) = b/(2*a).
    Yes, that's true, and elementary to verify using the Law of Sines
    and addition formulas for the sine function.
